Read our Colorectal Cancer research guide →This trial is testing a new genetic screening approach to detect colorectal cancer risk early in community members. Researchers will use a genetic test that looks for specific changes in DNA that may signal cancer risk. If your genetic test is positive, you'll receive additional follow-up tests including blood work and a colonoscopy to get a clearer picture of your health.
Colorectal cancer is a serious health threat, but when caught early, it's often treatable. This study aims to see if this genetic screening test can reliably identify people at risk before symptoms appear, which could save lives by allowing earlier intervention.

At the start, you'll complete a health questionnaire and provide a sample for the genetic screening test. If your result is positive, you'll have additional tests done within 3 months, including blood work and a colonoscopy. After that, the research team will call you by phone at 1, 2, 3, and 4 years to check on your health, with a final follow-up at 5 years to see how you're doing. The study lasts about 5 years in total.
